Artworks by Rubén Ponce Cortés 

Welcome

Thank you for visiting my gallery on the web! 

Here I will present you with some of my work: still life and landscapes. With still life I specialise in macroscopic views of fruit, vegetables and flowers; with a landscape, whether it is a field of flowers or a dessert, I like to paint a wide view: the feeling of open space.

I hope you will enjoy my paintings and sign my guestbook or send me an with your impressions.

Biography
I was born in Guadalajara in Mexico. As a child the world of dance, music and art interested me a lot. So at a very young age, I started to study painting at the School of Fine Arts at the University of Guadalajara. My major subject was the art of painting and minor subject was sculpture.

When I was 16 years of age I started my dancing career. Danced for a number of years with many dance companies and toured the whole world, first in Mexico and later in the USA and for 4 years with the CCDC in Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Ballet.

After a career of almost 25 years in the dance world I ended up in the Netherlands. Here I rediscovered an old passion : painting!
 

Showing things differently
When I paint i'm very interested to show objects in a different way than we usually see them. This causes us to stop and wonder about objects we otherwise would not pay attention to.

My favorite example is the painting "L. v. Beethoven" which you see here. In four layers several aspects are portrayed: the hair, a part of the neck, the nose and the death mask of Beethoven.
